When starting Gaussx, why do I get an error: "Error loading from file" ?

This information applies to Gaussx for Windows, Vsn 3.6.1

Symptoms

The error message "Error loading from file", or Error 31037 "Error loading from file" on executing Gaussx or GxEdit.

Cause

1. A control used by Gaussx is either missing from the system or is not correctly registered on the system.
2. This error also occurs when a user has a 16 bit version of any of the Gaussx OCXs already installed and registered on the machine. Because 16 bit and 32 bit OCX share the same CLSID, the 32bit OCXs do not self-register when they are loaded (presumably because it finds that the CLSID is already registered)

Resolution

The following OCX files should exist on the windows system directory:

COMDLG32.OCX

THREED32.OCX

EMEDIT32.OCX

TABCTL32.OCX

MSMASK32.OCX

If any of these files is missing, reinstall Gaussx. If none of the files are missing, the problem can be corrected by manually registering each file using REGSVR32.EXE, which should also be on the windows system directory. The syntax is:

c:\windows\system32\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\comdlg32.ocx

Repeat for each of the OCX files shown. If you do not have REGSVR32.EXE on the windows system directory, click REGSVR32.EXE to download a copy.
